Times Like These

One civilization is not complete without it's art
 The highest form of expression of human intelligence
 You have have become complacent
 Sitting down and allowing the other nations to run away with everything
 You have become a bunch of consumers
 You are creators
 rise up mighty people and accomplish what you will
 Without confidence you're twice defeated in the race of life
 They took away the voices, that gave the people pride
 Now we're plunging into darkness
 We all have to play our part, make a bold start
 Every disc jock, tell every artist
 Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness
 How so much alcohol in our parties
 While the girls a broke out
 And the something she drinked knocked her out
 Now she doesn't care where they prop her up
 It's times like these
 I'm missing our heroes
 Times like these i really wish they where around
 Shouldn't have to be like this
 Marcus Garvey
 We know that you tried your best, but we'll to the rest
 They bred up shotaz them, now we have a lot of them
 Prsion pack up, now the grave will be packed with dead
 The broke the national bird wing
 Sell we out clean
 Not sure if we own a god dam thing
 Jamrock why are we giving in to the trick that they have been tricking us from the beginning
 Parents you need to awake from the slumbering
 It's our children's blood that is running
 It's times like these
 I'm missing our heroes
 Times like these i really wish they where around
 Shouldn't have to be like this
 Bob Marley
 We know that you never died in vain
 We're gonna rise again ...heeeeeeey
 People use the fist hold the bell
 Beat promise until it swells
 Nobody will hear if you don't yell
 Listen what they tell you about the bucket that go well
 Black woman put on you baggie
 That something should not sell
 That's how we know society's cruel
 Ask who placed the crab into barrel
 PM, opposition stop with the quarrel
 Unite, come together, teach the people how fi chill
 It's times like these
 I'm missing our heroes
 Times like these i really wish they where around
 Shouldn't have to be like this
 Oh Miss Lou we need you
 It's the first I've heard of this
 Hundred and counting on the murder list
 They took away the voices, that gave the people pride
 Now we're plunging into darkness
 We all have to play our part, make a bold start
 Every disc jock, tell every artist
 Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness
 How so much alcohol in our parties
 While the girls a broke out
 And the something she drinked knocked her out
 Now she doesn't care where they prop her up
 It's times like these
 I'm missing our heroes
 Times like these i really wish they where around
 We need you, we need you, we need you
 Sam Sharpe
 We need you, we need you, we need you
 Nanny... yeaaaah
 It's times like these
 I'm missing our heroes
 Times like these i really wish they where around...
